Wacky family comedies (with heart) have been pretty good to ABC, which means someone at NBC said 'Get me one of those!'

So here comes "1600 Penn" (9:30 tonight NBC), a sitcom with potential about the First Family, if the First Family was allowed to be like the rest of us. (Tonight is a sneak peek; the show officially premieres on Jan. 10.)

I don't want to give away too much but we've seen elements of this First Family on the national stage. President Gilchrist (Bill Pullman) is a hapless, uptight dad; First Lady Emily (Jenna Elfman) is his hot wife trying desperately to connect with her step children. Son Skip (Josh Gad) is a chubby, lovable screw-up with 7 years of college under his belt; Becca (Martha MacIsaac) is the perfect daughter who quickly reveals a big mistake.

The Bachelorette (8pm, ABC) - One of the 16 remaining bachelors scores a one-on-one date with Emily that includes a private concert with country singer Luke Bryan, while another escorts her to Dollywood in Tennessee, where they are serenaded by Dolly Parton.

Hatfields & McCoys (9pm, History) - In part one of a three-part mini-series, a McCoy is murdered by a Hatfield and a forbidden love affair begins at the start of the legendary Hatfield-McCoy family feud, which nearly brought the states of Kentucky and West Virginia to a civil war in the 1880s. Stars Kevin Costner (right) and Bill Paxton. Adrienne has a review.

Hemingway & Gellhorn (9pm, HBO) - In this original HBO movie, a chance 1936 meeting between novelist Ernest Hemingway (Clive Owen) and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn (Nicole Kidman) sparks a nine-year relationship dominated by a volatile romance that nearly rivaled the combat zones into which they threw themselves in Spain, China, and World War II. It's not really as interesting as it sounds -- my review.

Gene Simmons Family Jewels (9pm, A&E) - In the seventh season opener, Shannon decides that she wants to adopt a child, which creates tension with Gene.

Independent Lens: To Hell and Back (10pm, UNC-TV) - Photojournalist Danfung Dennis chronicles the experiences of a Marine platoon battling the Taliban in 2009 in Afghanistan. The documentary details the physical and emotional challenges a wounded soldier faces upon returning home.

Witness (10pm, National Geographic Channel) - Home vidoes of military men and women surprising their loved ones with an unexpected home visit, and the stories behind the emotional reunions are featured.

The TV movie is back, and TNT is unveiling a Mystery Movie Night with six crime dramas over the next few weeks.

The first up is "Scott Turow's Innocent" (9 tonight, TNT), a sequel to Turow's "Presumed Innocent," the 1990 film starring Harrison Ford. But it's not necessary to have seen the Ford movie to enjoy this one. In fact, it might be better to not have seen it.

That's not because it doesn't compare favorably. "Scott Turow's Innocent" isn't brilliant, but it's a solid thriller with good performances. Bill Pullman plays Rusty Sabich, the judge who 20 years earlier was charged with the murder of his mistress. He didn't do it.

Yet prosecutor Tommy Mattolo (Richard Schiff) has never believed him innocent. So when Rusty's wife (Marcia Gay Harden) turns up dead, Mattolo goes after Sabich. Reluctantly. Twenty years later, Mattolo is weary and still shaken by the legal beating he took from Sabich's attorney Sandy Stern (Alfred Molina). But his hot-headed colleague Jim Brand (Tahmoh Penikett) believes they can bring Rusty down this time.

I'm late to the world of "Torchwood"; luckily that doesn't matter much when it comes to "Torchwood: Miracle Day" (Starz, 10 Friday night). Indeed, it might help, relieving you from those lofty expectations or tainted views.

So, here it is, I liked "Torchwood: Miracle Day." It wasn't the best piece of sci-fi I've seen, but I thought the cast was solid, the issues explored were timely and the premise compelling. Plus it has those dry humor Brit moments. I don't have Starz, so I'm a little bummed that I won't know how it all ties up.

The premise is straightforward enough: one day, across the world, people stop dying. No matter how brutally they are injured or how severe their disease, they live. Just before folks start noticing, Esther Drummond (Alexa Hayes), a computer pro who works for the CIA, notices the word "Torchwood" appear on her screen. She's talking to her colleague Rex Matheson (Mekhi Phifer) when he gets into a horrific car accident (what is it with Starz and impaling people?) and survives.
